I89 southbound heading towards NY from VT. Sunny, green, and a clear
road ahead. Suspension all setup, every crack felt in the seat of my pants,
just how I like it. I held my foot on the gas coming down a long sweeping
hill into a 2 mile straightaway. Eventually the speedo stopped progressing
forwards at 135mph, obviously a bit over estimated, completely redlined on
the tach. Must have been doing 120-125mph and the car was as solid as a
rock. Huge grin on my face, even though my car wasn't a quattro:)
Driving the 200q20v avant in the past snow storms in NY this year made
for a very different, but just as enjoyable experience. Jumping on the gas
in the turn and powering out sideways like a rally car driver. Watching
plow truck drivers expressions when cruising by at 45mph in heavy snow is
also quite enjoyable.
Cheers!
